NBA Regular season games thread

At one point last night, Rubio was 1 for his last 26.

Including incredible efforts of 0-10 and 1-13, respectively.

He's so good

I said something in the draft thread, but the T Wolves' rebuild has taken a nosedive this year.

Between them throwing money at role players in free agency and Love's injury/grumblings of him wanting out, things don't look good. Especially when you consider they have to decide whether or not to pay Pekovic this offseason.

Yeah the injury bug really bent them over this season.

Maybe the Lakers will pick him up. Not like they couldn't use the help

I don't think he's eligible to be on a playoff roster this late in the season.

Look at the recent history of ubber athletic slashers like Westbrook. Rose torn ACL, Wade shoulder injuries, knee injuries, etc. They can't seem to hold up to the constant abuse they take in the paint. I wouldn't be shocked to see him start missing a lot of games. He's developed more of an outside shot than Wade, and Rose, but players that small often get injured going to the rack so much.

Ok so here's the thing... I didn't think it would happen this season, but I knew Westbrook was a prime candidate for injuries.
